President's Message
The Morning of September 11, 2001 began with a beautiful sunrise over lower Manhattan, the Pentagon in Arlington, VA and a quiet field in Shanksville, PA. By the time the sun set that day we were a Nation in shock, horror, and mourning and at war with people and an ideology who hate us because of our freedom and way of life.
This Thursday we will be remembering a very solemn day for America. We must NEVER FORGET the 3000 innocent victims men, women and children who died that day just because they went to work or boarded an airplane, firefighters and rescue workers who entered the buildings knowing they would never walk back down the stairs alive and the families of the victims who will have to live with the horror of their loved ones death for the REST OF THEIR LIVES.
This will be the 13th anniversary since the attacks of 9/11.We continue to move forward but we never want to see the horrors of that day again. In lower Manhattan the 1,776 foot tall Freedom Tower is rising upward to the sky. The reflecting pools have become a beautiful and solemn memorial to all the innocent victims of September 11, 2001 and the museum is completed with remembrances and a lasting memorial to all those who died that day. The World Trade site has become a testimonial not only for the victims but also the courage and strength that is AMERICA!
This year we also need to remember all the events that led up to that attack. History does repeat itself and we can learn from history. Today we see an America as vulnerable as it was in 2001. The ideology that led to our attack in 2001 has grown stronger due to an administration that favors a weak national defense.
When we remember 9/11 this year we have to do more than just light a candle, attend a Memorial service, say a prayer, 9/11 is our wake up call and we need to keep the message of that day alive. When the Bush administration was confronted on Sept. 12, 2001 with the question “Do we fight the war over there or wait for them to come here?” President Bush knew the correct answer. Our President today still has no plan to protect America plus he is cutting back on the military and defense funding. We can not become complacent and we can make a difference by talking to our friends and the voters. We can make a difference on election day by being sure we elect all our Republican candidates. I am proud to be a Republican because Republicans believe in a strong National Defense and we know America must flight the enemies abroad to prevent them coming here.
We live in the greatest country the world has ever known and we all want to continue to pass on the American Dream to our children and grandchildren. On Sept.11 we remember a sad day, those we lost and we also remember our military who continue to risk their lives every day to protect our freedom, especially those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
“WE MUST NEVER FORGET 9/11”
God Bless America
